A friend just learned the names of villages where her maternal
grandmother had lived in the Zemplin area. The village names are
Plashchcz and Koczand. I assume these are Hungarian names. Does
anyone know the Slovak names of these villages?

Her grandmother's name was Olexa or Oleksza.

Her computer is not working and she asked for my help in this.

There's the village of Pl'as~t'ovce, formerly Plast, Palasth, Plassovce, and Palast (in Hungarian), among other variants, but it's in western Slovakia, near Levice. "Plashchcz" isn't written in Hungarian orthography, so maybe this is Ukrainian (although the "ch" and "cz" seem to represent the same sound)????? Any chance it wasn't transcribed correctly from the document?

I can't find the 2nd name as such, but there is a Koc~ovce (Hungarian: Kocsoc). The name of a male resident of that village is "Koc~ovc~an". Unfortunately, it's located near Trencin, in the west. There's also Koc~in (its resident being: Koc~inc~an), but that's near Trnava.

Helen, Thanks for your reply. There's a good chance it wasn't
transcribed correctly. I thought the names strange as well but thought
just maybe they might have been authentic. Julia Matchett
